Is This the Same?

Katrina was her name I must say,is this the same as nine eleven that came our way? Where 
everybody cried, prayed, and hoped if they died, they would get to Heaven that Day.
They huged, got close, made promises they didn't keep, went back to business as usual in 
lest that a beep.
Money promises were High for the rich, and Low for the poor, and anything else never got 
through the door.
People had compassion for a minute or two, and after that you were never told what to do.
Workers went back to work without any choice, because no one listened to their cries, 
they did'nt have a voice.
Flash backs, and night mares, returned when Katrina appeared, will anybody listen this 
time? or will they just disapper.

Is this the same?
